BIG MOVE ... of God
hey hey hey! today was the Big Move! woohoo, totally indescribable (wrong spellin again rite?) ... feelin ultra tired right now, after so much jumpin on stage man! gotta say, performing on stage today was so much better than in TC, it could be the size of the hall ba...but the congregation was really a sight lor...lookin at them, jumpin, singin and worshippin really got rid of all the tiredness and muscle aches, plus God's presence was so strong...
started the morning with an 8o'clock wake-up call frm Juli, needed to get up early to help Candy check some hair-stylin stuff frm my mom...however, Candy last min. didnt wanna style hair liao...tat means: i can go back to slp! heehee...
woke up at 9plus, felt abit late somehow...even though i live so near, i was super scared tat i would slack and day-dream til i became late lor, quickly bathed and took my own sweet time to walk to Expo (10min walk)... once again, i met Danny/Eve/LM on the way... how come so coincidence huh?? nxt time fetch me leh...
met the entire DE tribe by 1030 (ard there lah)...started having brunch, PIZZA !!! long time nvr eat liao, but it was a bad breakfast...bcos it's so oily and etc etc, surely spoilt our voices ... plus i had some sore throat, so i onli ate 1piece and said 'no' to the wings as well
started rehearsal at 1130, abit dis-orientated cos the music was so soft and everybody was 'rushing' and got the beat of the clappin all wrong...haha, kinda funny
blah blah blah...
svc started at 1330...was totally geared up for it, until the pple started coming in...it was like a swarmin grp of ants lor, kinda scary cos everybody chiong-ing frm 1 entrance onli...haha, and legs became 'jelly'
then i prayed alittle, "God, pls let everything turn out fine...give me strength to last longer...and make sure i dont jump off the ledge/stage again" and prayers came thrh again, felt totally joyful during the worship/praise time...couldnt stop jumping/bobbing, couldnt even stop smiling (except for slow songs lah, they are more serious mah), hands were gettin stronger as time passed...haha, it was really a WORSHIP man! after so much practises, it is finally over...happy yet i'm gonna miss it...Dan, if got another chance pls sign DE tribe up for it again ! come on guys, we're doing it for Laupa lor! haha
jus wanna thank God for this great opportunity to be on stage, it is a 1st for me...plus, DE tribe was the 1st choir for Expo YouthNet svc lor, i think i represent everyone when i say, and it was indeed a privilege & honour to serve u Lord ! dont u guys agree? haha...
sermon oso touched me, despite the constant shivering due to the very very cold air-con...it made me realise tat i too, as a christian, do have doubts whenever i don get a quick-answered prayer... many of u don know it, but my family had a major quarrel on Tues night, and it really affected me for Wed Rehearsals...and i've been prayin so long for my family liao, and i thud Pastor Khong's words were all bulls-eye lor...rmbed he kept saying, "those who have been prayin for ur family yet there has been no breakthrh" ... and tat point, i felt as though this sermon was really God's msg to me, that it was God's promise to me ;not to give up on God and my family...thx Laupa!
afterall, i prayed during this wk tat this wk svc would have a word tat would impact me, and every single time i prayed for this, it always came thrh... i have 6words, "God has never forgetten abt me!" really wanted to go for Altar Call, but i was in the choir...oh wells, i believe God has His timing! Laupa, i'm waiting...waiting for an answer, no matter how long it takes...
ended ard 4 plus...celebrated Nigel's & Clement's bday after tat, shall not elaborate cos i cant rmb...jus tat the choco cake was much nicer, haha, i'm jus glad tat the cakes were enough...it was meant to be shared among the entire tribe, in the end...onli guys' side, sry girls! btw...u girls spoilt the whole thing, we werent supposed to sing bday song so early lor, you all exposed us! haha, jus kiddin..
after everythin ended, i brought the Chua sisters to the bus-stop...apparently, they're quite dumb...donno how to find themselves, but bcos i'm such a nice person (haha), i helped them! in the end, i decided to take bus24 home ... onli 1 stop lor, totally wasted my $$, oh well...i was oso tired lor
anyway, i'm currently listening to Running After You, i still feel tat this song is so meaningful, not onli does it have a catchy beat but the lyrics ring in my heart everytime i sing/listen...esp the chorus
i don care what people will say
cos i'm running after you
i won't turn back and go their way
cos i'm running after you
no matter what may come my way
i'm running after you
it's you, i'm following today
i'm running after you
why care on how pple look at us christians? why matter how pple judge us? why shud we matter abt wat they say and change our attitude towards God jus bcos of their opinions to u? why do we choose to doubt God whenever things arent turning on the way we want? shudnt we trust Him at all times? no matter what happens? no matter what prob comes in our way? shudnt we jus say " i wanna follow u, no matter what happens " ?...
hope this song is more than another song tat u jump to the beat, more than lyrics of a song (hmmm, abit familiar), more than a song...but a msg u're saying to God tat u would follow Him, Run to Him, no matter what happens...guys! let's run to God at all times!
anyway i'm out...
PS: the upcoming wk is so free again, time to jio pple and go out...needa get X'mas gifts asap, ugh...i really hope $$ would drop frm the sky (not literally)
